Does your boyfriend have anger issues and get annoyed easily with stuff?

Hahaa funny you say that but yea. I mean not extremely. But he doesn’t understand my mental health. It’s hard to deal with for me, its a line of confusion because I have health issues that he is INCREDIBLE about. More than any other boyfriend, more than a lot of family members. So understanding, supportive, always wanting to learn more whether that be me explaining or him looking it up on his own. However in regards to mental health..that’s a different story. Not that I have much to compare it to because most people in my life, including every other boyfriend I’ve had, have never understood my OCD, or my almost debilitating depression.

How long has this been going on? If you have been in the relationship 8 months or less just get out! Not worth it you’ll thank me later. If you’ve been with him a long time I’m assuming there are more than a few good qualities he has as well which is keeping you around. In which case talk to him more seriously about this issue and suggest he seek counseling. If he is never up for that think long and hard about if you want to deal with that 5 years down the line

How old are you? I will say this.. the hardest thing you will ever do.. is be true to whatever faith you have and then also, relationships and having a child. Some people just are not there. He may be too prideful for help to see things through... even if it’s needed. You have to remind yourself though, that you DO see an issue and that you aware... that is a key to survival in a relationship and its mature. The hard part is some people can’t always see that... one day they will but... it may take time to be on YOUR level. Love is so important in this... not the butterfly kind but the kind where.. you’d love them if they lost a limb. He may not be emotionally mature enough for you...

Well he’s got anger issues. And gets annoyed with me easily and mad at me for no reason. He says he loves me but also he doesn’t know why he acts the way he acts.

And he isn’t going to do counseling ... maybe someday he will.... but not now .... it’s not like he’s angry alllllll of the time. But like when he is angry it just kills the mood. For the most part I know how to handle it, and he gets over it fast. But like .... sometimes I wonder if I make him more annoyed or happy

I know I do But like I think he really does love me . Cause I told him about my OCD and how scared I am and he says that I should focus on myself and get therapy, which was a hard thing for me to do. And he said that he wants to know how to handle it so he can help me

Yea I hope so. Sometimes I think he might break up with me tho because I think he sees me as unsuccessful in a way. I had to delay getting a job for a while because of my mental health and also school And he thinks highly of me so he always tells me to keep busy and support myself. And I’m trying so so hard to find a good job and love myself But it so fucking hard and scary because of my flare ups

Thank you. I just pray that it’s not too late and that he thinks I’m some kind of failure for taking too long to find a job. Or graduate college

My boyfriend told me that he feels like he’s losing me, that I’ve changed, and that I don’t seem happy to see him anymore. I know that this should hurt me deeply, but when he said it, I didn’t feel anything. And now I’m terrified. Why didn’t I react? Why didn’t I feel instant sadness or guilt? It’s like I was emotionally blocked, like I didn’t care at all—and that thought is destroying me. What if this means I don’t love him? What if I’ve just been lying to myself and I don’t want to accept the truth? I feel so disconnected and numb. My brain keeps telling me: “If you really cared, you would feel something.” But instead, I feel nothing. And the fact that I feel nothing makes me panic even more. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I used to feel so much, and now it’s like I can’t access my emotions at all. I don’t want to lose him. I don’t want to feel like this forever. I just want to feel normal again

I realized I’ve depended a lot on my boyfriend for comfort through my ocd, and I’m starting to feel like even before my ocd I was paying more attention to the relationship itself more than him, or the attachment: even though I remember distinct feelings of me wanting to be with him forever, and feeling so happy and complete with him, time didn’t exist, I felt like my most authentic self. So now I’m trying to create a healthy attachment and see him as his own person, which was helping at first, but now it feels as if I’m seeing that I don’t actually love him for him, the thought of moving forward in life without him breaks my heart and I don’t want to but my mind keeps telling me that I want it because of the attachment. He’s the exact type of person and partner I would want but it feels like whatever I feel is not enough.. But I DO experience moments of affection and care and admiration for him but they don’t last long..before I started making this shift in perspective even with the ocd I was still so sure and confident in moving forward with him, I felt so much like I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. But now that I’ve made this shift it feels like I’m seeing him from a whole different place. Like all those good and happy feelings I had for him are gone now and I don’t have any confidence in what I want anymore. Before I did feel confident that I wanted to be with him but now it feels like there’s this wall between him and me :( I want to be with him I know I do, because even now I still feel the desire to keep going, but I can’t see the future anymore or the confidence to keep going. I was never much of a future thinker, even in my personal life but this feels like added proof I feel like I’m alone in this like no one else has this situation and the chances for me to realize after I recover that I don’t actually love him are so much higher 💔

It hurts so much to write that. Lately, every time I talk to my boyfriend — whether it’s through text or in person — I feel this deep irritation, like everything he says or does annoys me. Sometimes, it even feels like disgust, and it’s terrifying. I don’t feel love. I don’t feel excitement. I don’t even feel sadness about not feeling anything… just numb. I look at him and I don’t feel like I used to. I don’t know what happened to me. I used to be so sure I loved him, and now I feel like a completely different person — cold, distant, empty. My brain keeps telling me: “You don’t love him anymore. You never did. You’re only staying out of habit.” My mom told me that if I don’t like him anymore, then I’m hurting both him and myself by staying in this. And hearing that broke me. Because that’s exactly what I fear — that I’m faking everything, and I just don’t want to admit the truth. I feel so lost. And I don’t know how to separate my thoughts from reality anymore. All I know is that I want to feel something again — anything. Because right now, all I feel is guilt, fear, and confusion. i used to know these thoughts are just thoughts and that if i didn’t have them i would be so happy but now, i cant think aboyr that bc the thoughts feel too real.
